uh, yeah, actually, it is.
if you're talking about pitching a sack of potatoes from deck to deck, sure, go ahead, they've been doing that for hundreds of years.
if you're talking about using a crane to swing a TEU full of product in a 6 foot swell from a 170,000 ton freighter (emma maersk) to some vessel alongside, you're in for a pretty serious operation.
there's about a thousand different ways to kill yourself in the open ocean. if the containers were stuffed full of cash/gold bars/diamonds/etc, this might be worth considering. but it's probably rubber dog shit from china, and not really worth dying for.
